anyone brave enough to wear a veil in the heart of fundamentalist christendom has to be worth having has a member.
There are plenty of people in my neck of the woods who could do with reading that to understand that treating people differently just because of a piece of cloth is dehumanising.
We don't need a vote and it's not a vote, Lord Nazh. We do need to allow people [BP members] to express themselves if they wish [as Ian Grey has done and others].
It cuts both ways. The incoming member can then rest assured she is really, really welcome and not just what someone like me whom she meets first up, has said.
Your own comment will give her a lot of confidence.
I think that's why it's appropriate. As for Kizzie, that time is now at a close and the majority view was fairly clear.
PommyGranate, it wasn't obvious that you had actually made contact with Kizzie, I was concerned that you had just put her forward to us without her being aware (which you have now made clear she does).
Without a doubt.
ReplyDeleteA very worthwhile addition to the family.
Where's the link - I can't find it?

Unless you have some damning emails from someone saying not to let her in, why do we need a vote vis-a-vis admittance?

ReplyDeleteI have no reservations at all beyond that.
All right, people - going out on a limb here and adding her to the roll - OK?
